Hello all Some basic unix questions which pure laziness prevents me from googling for. Anyone feeling charitable? I'm using FreeBSD 6.0:
* To create an empty __init__.py file I do 'vim __init__.py' then immediately exit vim, is there a shell or vim command which will create an empty file without opening the editor? * If I want to do : mv mypackage-1.0.2.tar.gz subdir/mypackage-1.0.2.tar.gz then tab-completion gives me the first occurrence of the file, but I have to type the second occurrence - is there a way of not having to type it? * cd ~ brings me to my home directory, is there a means by which I can set up a similar alias for, say, /usr/local/www, so I can do: eg. cd ^ to get to that directory? * I'm using the tcsh shell and have no problems with it, but bash seems more popular - any reason to change? (I don't intend writing many shell scripts) * Any other unix/vim tips for a 'nix newb?! Thanks in advance Gerard -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
